South America 2007

So, I got bored of waiting for a mysterious backpack to arrive and spending hours trying to get through to air Iberia so I decided to move on to Valparaiso with a couple of people I met in Santiago. Valpariso {2hrs away on the coast} was a welcome break from a big city. Although still a large town it has a bohemian, arty feel as the houses are perched on the surrounding hillsides and painted bright colours. For the lazy locals {and me!} there are old fashioned elevators between steep streets which add to its quirky feel. On every street corner you find amazing graffiti and so have spent most of today exploring the streets and eating yummy seafood. Hopefully moving onto dessert {22hrs on bus!} tomorrow if bag arrives.
